United States Book Exchange is in the process of circulating its 1993 Shelf
List to about 27,000 libraries in the USA and selected libraries in other
countries. If you would like to receive a copy of the 64 page booklet which
details USBE's activities, membership information, and ca. 14,000 periodicals
regularly handled, send your name & address to USBE. If we find that your
library is already on our mailing list, we won't send another copy of the SHELF
LIST.

USBE is very much interested in being alerted to de-acquisition projects and
duplicate and gifts dispersals. We are regularly approached by libraries,
especially those in lesser-developed countries and former Soviet-bloc countries
that draw from USBE's donational program stock. It is possible that your
library is getting ready to discard something that could be useful. In many
cases, USBE will pay freight charges.

For example, we presently have an urgent request from a library in South
America for a set of U.S. Patent Office, Official Gazette, 1923-1989. Let us
know if there's a set (or partial set) out there looking for a new home!
